Run tip pools without spreadsheets or confusion. Standby helps you set tip rules by role, calculate splits from real hours, and generate clean tip-out records for your team.
Tips are sensitive — and messy tip-outs create frustration fast. Standby helps you run a consistent process: define rules once, calculate using real worked hours, and generate a clear breakdown you can share with confidence.
Create tip pool rules by role and apply them consistently day to day.
Include only the positions that belong in the pool (no extra $0 tip-outs cluttering the report).
Calculate splits using worked hours from timesheets — not estimates or handwritten notes.
Review the breakdown, catch edge cases, then finalize with a clean record.
Generate an easy-to-understand summary by employee so there’s less confusion and fewer disputes.
Export tip pool results for payroll workflows, reporting, or internal recordkeeping.
The process is simple: define your tip pool rules once, run the pool for a day, and generate the breakdown. Standby keeps the math consistent and the output clean.
Create a tip pool, choose which roles are included, assign weights per role, and how you want to split.
Standby uses worked hours from the shifts that match your included roles.
See each employee’s tip-out amount and keep a record for payroll and transparency.
Tip pooling is as much about trust as it is about math. Standby helps you run a fair, repeatable process that people can understand — without a manager rebuilding everything manually.
Tip pools work best when they’re connected to the rest of your operation. Standby ties tips back to roles, shifts, and worked hours — so your process stays consistent.
Set rules once, calculate from real hours, and generate tip-out records your team can understand — all inside Standby.
